You're Me She

120.Family gathering

"Assalamu'alaikum..."

"Goddessalam.." Sahut ambu, abah, Banyu, Tasya and also Putra. They all turned to the door of the room, where Alia, Eijaz, Devonna and Anton entered the room. Instantly the atmosphere felt tense. It was not that the Putra family did not like the presence of Alia and her family, it was just that they were all trying to gauge the situation that could have been unwanted things. While the state of the Son who had just been transferred to the inpatient room was not so stable. Of course, they all consider the situation of the Son, if a commotion occurs or so forth.

"Any, Anton.." Banyu tried to break the silence, he moved from his seat and greeted Anton with a friendly and warm presence. Anton tried to smile and welcomed a warm embrace from Banyu. Then he looked at Abah, Ambu, Tasya and Putra, who had not seen him for a long time. The last time Anton met them was because of the case that befell Putra, who drove the man languishing in a prodeo hotel.

"How are you, ma'am?" Anton asked abah and ambu. With an awkward attitude, abah and ambu accepted Anton's helping hand. They tried to smile and answer the basic questions of the men who had imprisoned their son.

"Okay, Alhamdulillah." Sahut abah, while Ambu only welcomed Anton's hand without saying a word.

Now Anton looked at Tasya who was holding a little girl who was about one year old. Anton tries to smile and give a friendly nod to the woman he once liked, who is now the wife of his best friend, Banyu.

Tasya replied to Anton's friendly nod and tried to smile. After that the man looked at the Son closely. Then he let out a long sigh and then cast his gaze upon Alia and Eijaz.

"Sir.." Sapa Putra's.

Anton looked back at the man who was actually very difficult for him to forgive. Moreover, he had to look at it today. But for the sake of his children and grandchildren, he must endure his dislike and emotional feelings for the Son.

"Yes." Yeah." Anton said in a cold voice.

"Father!" Eijaz.

"Papa's son.." At once the Son grimaced as he tried to sit down and greet his only son.

"Just sleep, don't force it" Alia said, preventing the still-attempting Son from sitting.

"How are you, baby?" Ask Putra while looking at Alia with a gaze filled with affection. Very different from a few years ago. The gaze of the Son this time is seen once if Alia is a very valuable woman in her life. The look of sincerity was clearly visible in the eyes of all who were watching the meeting between the Son and Alia. There was also a sweet and sincere smile from the faces of the two men.

"I should have asked you how. Why are you asking?" Alia asked as she stared at the bandage on the Son's chest with a worried look.

"I'm doing fine. Oh yeah, that's my mom and dad. You've never met, have you?"

Alia looked at Ambu and Abah who kept staring at her.

"If my brother you know, right? Well, that's his wife, Tasya," continued Putra.

Alia looked at Banyu and Tasya. He only realized when the woman who once loved the Son, now became the brother-in-law of the Son.

"Ah yes.." Sahut Alia while smiling and approaching abah and ambu.

"Mom, sir, I'm Alia" Alia said as she greeted the parents of the Son.

Abah and Ambu greeted Alia's hand doubtfully, then they just nodded and tried to smile.

"And this is Eijaz, grandson of mother and father." Connect Alia.

"Eijaz, here." Call Alia. Eijaz who was standing beside the bed of the Son approached his mother. Then he looked at the parents of the Son with his innocent gaze.

"This is your Grandpa and grandmother" Alia said.

Eijaz smiled and grabbed the hand of abah and ambush, and then kissed the back of their hand. Abah and Ambu look confused about what to do. What is clear is that they do not expect if their grandchildren who previously never knew of its existence, have grown up and are very handsome.

"Change.." Ambu looked at Abah with a puddle of tears in his eyes. Abah smiled and nodded, the old man allowing the ambush to release his feelings to the almost four-year-old boy.

"Yes grandma." Eijaz Sahut.

"Oh God.." Say ambiguous words, rubbing Eijaz's face and paying attention to every detail of the boy's face.

"Change... Eijaz tea is very similar to the Son of childhood!" Ambu. The old woman cried and hugged Eijaz tightly.

"Eijaz granddaughter of grandmother!" He cried when Eijaz was in his arms.

The atmosphere felt so moving. Anybody is trying to hold back the tears of those who are trying and keep pressing to flood their cheeks. But it was impossible, because the meeting was so dramatic that it made anyone powerless to stop crying.

Satisfied to vent feelings, now Eijaz is in the lap of ambu. The whole family sat facing each other. While Alia is still loyal to be on the side of Putra who looks more eager to recover when he sees the angel coming all the way from Zurich to Indonesia just to visit him.

"Now we don't have to discuss the past and who was wrong and who should apologize." Banyu tried to open a chat for both sides of the family who were trying to start a friendship back.

"From my meeting yesterday with Mr. Anton, we've found common ground, if both families are willing to forgive each other. Isn't that Anton?" Ask Anton. Because he appreciated Anton as his sister's future father-in-law, Banyu was forced to call his best friend as an older man.

In response to Banyu's words, Anton just nodded and smiled at Banyu.

"But, because we've all gathered here. I, as the representative of the family, once again apologize to Anton and his wife, as well as to Alia. Forgive my mistakes and my family, or my brother's son" Banyu said.

Again Anton just nodded as he let out a word.

"I am also the most guilty and responsible person for this mess, I say a great apology to my father and mother, as well as to my whole family." Suddenly the Son chimed in Banyu's words.

Anton looked at the Son still lying in bed. The still stern look of anger began to fade when he saw the state of the Son lying helplessly on the bed.

"I repented. I won't repeat bad things again. I apologize for all my bad behavior. In the future, I just want to do good and try to make Alia and Eijaz happy. If I make a mistake again, I am willing to accept whatever the consequences are. Because I realized, there would be no more trust and apology for me, if I didn't change."

All were silent, even Alia was silent and looked at the Son closely. It was as if he was trying once again to see the honesty and sincerity of the man he loved so much.

"We and our family also apologized for what we did. And the most grave error is that we hid the existence of the Eijaz. We're really sorry" Anton said after a few minutes the atmosphere became silent after the apology uttered by Putra.

"Together sir.." Sahut abah smiled kindly to Anton.

"So?" Ask Banyu.

They looked at each other, and all cast their gazes upon the Son and Alia. Feeling it was their turn, Alia and Putra smiled at each other and returned the gaze of their families who were waiting for a good plan from them.

"After I am healed, I want to help this beautiful father. I won't waste her. She is a good woman, I should have united her. Will you allow me to marry Alia?" Putra asked, after which she tried to muster up the courage to say that to Anton.

Anton and Devonna look at each other. Then they looked at Alia and Eijaz who were also waiting for an answer from him. The atmosphere again felt tense, while waiting for an answer from Anton. Anton let out a long sigh and lowered his face. As a father, there is a sense of unwillingness if Alia married a man who had hurt her son. But that's love, there's always an apology for people who have failed or hurt. But there is nothing wrong with giving the opportunity to the person, if the person is really believed to have changed better.

"Come to my house with your dowry, I'll wait" Anton said briefly, densely and precisely.

"Thank God..!" Excited Son and his family.

The son looked at Alia with a look of joy. Alia who keeps smiling happily. Eventually, the love became theirs. Finally, the blessing was given to them. Now they are just waiting for the time to be able to step together in a legal marriage in the eyes of Religion and the State.

The meeting was continued to a more serious discussion, namely the date of their wedding to be held two months later and after they were married, they plan to settle in Zurich and continue Alia's efforts in the country.
